In the days following the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., New Jerseyans are talking about guns, who should be allowed to carry them and what steps we should take to stop gun violence. Here are today's news stories, editorials and opinions on that topic:

• New Jersey politicians call for gun safety:"It’s time that we do more than hold candlelight vigils to honor the lives that have been lost from guns and take action to stem gun violence," Rep. Frank Pallone stated after Friday’s school attack.

• Educators, parents rethink school safety plans: “The discussion on this topic began a long time ago, particularly after the Columbine incident,” said Richard Bozza, executive director of the New Jersey Association for School Administrators. “People are just reinforcing what the procedures are and trying to reassure community members of what’s in place.”
